were never two people more in love she had flights of temper that was the trouble she wasn't responsible for what she did and 1 truly believe she could bt called insane when she killed the boy could not hold malice why do you know gertrude threw m out of the house once when they were liv ing in a flat in Chicago she was nursinf my boy and he was very ill i went over to see what i could do and i tried to help without in any way interfering with the plans of gertrude because i realized that she was mistress there somehow she didn't seem to want me and she took my hat and coat and threw it out of the flat and pushed me out afterward i went home but i tried to forget the incident my son perry went over later that same night to see how my boy was but the wife saw who it was and slammed the door in his face perry remembered it and never went back a mother can't remem ber that sort of thing you know she just can't and the tears rolled down the slim face of tiie very good little mother she stuck to him and there was a rising inflection in the voice of the mother who seemed half endeavoring to fully con vince herself that she didn't feel the slightest bit of malice toward the daugh

brought all tills grief to his oid mother wasn't the woman who all in while i!id with her prrttty smiles und delightful manners nursed urjr boy when he was ill ami made dclicute little dishes for him in their beautiful uat sue isn't tile same woman at all that woman would never have done this uor rible fhiujr i am not going to let the little qnnrrcle thirt my son and his wife had prompt bis to do the thing of nil things that i know my boy wouldn't want me to do now sud that is prosecute the woman who killed him they quarreled all people do that when they care for each other and i know there were never two people more in love she had flights of temper that was the trouble she wasn't responsible for what she did and 1 truly believe she could bt called insane when she killed the boy could not hold malice why do you know gertrude threw m out of the house once when they were liv ing in a flat in Chicago she was nursinf my boy and he was very ill i went over to see what i could do and i tried to help without in any way interfering with the plans of gertrude because i realized that she was mistress there somehow she didn't seem to want me and she took my hat and coat and threw it out of the flat and pushed me out afterward i went home but i tried to forget the incident my son perry went over later that same night to see how my boy was but the wife saw who it was and slammed the door in his face perry remembered it and never went back a mother can't remem ber that sort of thing you know she just can't and the tears rolled down the slim face of tiie very good little mother she stuck to him and there was a rising inflection in the voice of the mother who seemed half endeavoring to fully con vince herself that she didn't feel the slightest bit of malice toward the daugh ter-in-law when he was sick she came here and stayed at the house and nursed him and once when he went to the ho pltal she paid 5 a week for a room so that she could be near to him but you were paying his hospital ex penses were you not she was asked there was an apologetic look and the best of all mothers said yes i was i paid them but i dldu't mind gertrude liked pretty things and it took lots of money i guess to buy them all i never knew a thins about that man emil strouss and the mother waved her hand helplessly i didn't know there wns such a uian my son wns too much of a man to let bis mother know if things weru wrong with his wife chi'-u thought she got her money from au iiilierltanee left her ho toltl me so it's too bad for the boy would not have lived uutil spring : ., . if she had only wnited und let him die tlmt^l way and had only been kiiul and gooil to j him till the last if she had wronged hiraj she could almost have made up to him tori it by belug good to him in his very last i days he was almost dend with tubercu : losis and he wrote so pitifully to me that j he wanted her so oh he wanted her so j badly and he loved her so dearly he said mother don't tell perry for he would think i hadn't any backbone but i am going back to gertrude if you will oÂ»ly i say that you think it's all right i he knew that i wonted whatever woul4 i make him the happiest and a
